I don't think he needs help entering the characters, but rather getting his 
spellchecker to recognize them correctly.

I can sympathize.  I use US-English dictionary.  The correct spelling is Café, 
but my spellchecker says that is wrong and wants cafe, which is wrong.  Same 
with résumé vs. resume.  Résumé is a curriculum vitae; resume means to start 
again.

It's annoying.
